Cocktail of the Week: Speyside Smash

Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits

This cocktail was born from little more than a spark of inspiration and some quick improvisation — as many great things are. It is fresh, crisp and slightly sour, and remains grounded in the richness of the whiskey and sage.

Ingredients

1 1/2 oz Glenrothes Single Malt Scotch Whisky

1 1/2 oz fresh lemon sweet and sour

3/4 oz St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur

2 wedges of a Granny Smith apple

3 sage leaves

Fresh fig slice for garnish

Method

Muddle the apple and sage in a mixing glass. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir with ice. Double strain into a cocktail coupe glass and garnish with fresh sage and a fig slice.
